2003 Map of Afeman

About this map

The parish line between Vernon Parish and Rapides Parish bisects this pocket of central Louisiana, where the landscape is defined by the dense hydrological network of the Kisatchie National Forest. A collection of rural congregations and family burial grounds provides a clear genealogical record of the region's inhabitants, including Lone Star Ch, Mt Moriah Ch, and the Upper Mt Moriah Cem. While the settlement at Afeman sits near the headwaters of Hathaway Branch, the surrounding woods are etched with numerous drainages like Pilgrim Branch and Tenmile Creek. The western edge of the map shows the boundary of the Fort Polk Military Reservation, contrasting the area's spiritual and agricultural landmarks with the presence of federal military land and industrial activity at a local Gravel Pit.
